3" to X pipe. 2.5" out back to 4" tips.
All the piping is custom fab. And I had a magnaflow catback before. The nicer one, hence where my tips come from.
The bullets are only 14x4" so they do surprisingly well considering that's the only thing on the exhaust. If you want a little quieter they make the dimensions a little bigger.

Hey blackbird, your tunnel brace is on backwards. The part with the dip in it goes on the passenger side to give you room for exhaust.

Nice car and exhaust by the way

You have 2 options. A powerflo type setup will work very well with an improved y merge. Or true duals with the biggest mufflers you can find.

Look up SLP powerflo. Essentially its an add on for the LM1 system. It replaces the rear section with a new one that has 2 mufflers before the bumper. IIRC it knocks 5db off the sound level

I think that's what I want. Side by side true duals. Maybe with cutouts.

Hell ya I'm sold on the true duals with the small mufflers. My exhaust is okay but I may put this mod on the list somewhere
